Movies watched, 2024 so far

  1. Atlas (2024)

    rating 3

    J-Lo looks timeless in a crowd-pleasing sci-fi adventure with very decent special effects, considering it's Netflix.

  2. Challengers (2024)

    rating 4

    With the back-and-forth time jumps and edge-of-your-seat finale, the movie itself is a tennis match.

  3. The Fall Guy (2024)

    rating 3

    The soundtrack slaps, the dialog is sharp and funny, but I felt they had more fun making the movie than me watching it.

  4. The Beekeper (2024)

    rating 2

    High-octane action that hopes to teach you a thing or two about bees, beehives and similar Animal Planet related stuff.

  5. Dune 2 (2024)

    rating 5

    The epic sci-fi sequel has more worms, more space drugs, more combat, more palace intrigue and a better popcorn bucket.

  6. Civil War (2024)

    rating 3

    Alex Garland's most misleading title since Never Let Me Go. Keeping the story apolitical drained all the depth out of it.

  7. Poor Things (2023)

    rating 4

    This movie is evidence the world needs more steampunk sex comedies.

  8. Love Lies Bleeding (2024)

    rating 5

    A lesbian fantasy of sex with a sweaty, veiny, Sendaya look-alike. Roid rage and mullets haven't been this relevant since Con Air.

  9. Monkey Man (2024)

    rating 3

    This hyper-violent revenge actioner is not for the squeamish, but the stunts are worth watching.

  10. Damsel (2024)

    rating 2

    Netflix darling Millie Bobby Brown spends half the movie chatting with a dragon that wants to eat her.

  11. Road House (2024)

    rating 2

    The sexyness of the shirtless Swayze 80s version was replaced by UFC bro propaganda.

  12. Anyone But You (2024)

    rating 1

    Cliché ridden, unfunny and as out-of-place as Sidney Sweeney's attempts at physical comedy.

  13. Rebel Moon Part 2 (2024)

    rating 1

    Dear Lord, it's finally over.

  14. Unfrosted (2024)

    rating 3

    The brand biopic is an official thing after 2023's Air, Blackberry, Tetris and Flaming Hot. This time, it's an old-fashioned comedy.

  15. Confess, Fletch (2022)

    rating 5

    While Jon Hamm in theory is not perfect to play the character made popular by Chevy Chase, the movie triumphs in all fronts.

  16. Saltburn (2023)

    rating 4

    A stealth remake of The Talented Mr Ripley, which by coincidence has a new show on Netflix.
